LAMP-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 1, 1919.

Application filed June 28, 1918. Serial No. 242,352.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, l/VINIFRED B. REINTN- GER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Battle Creek, Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in lamp stoves.

. The main objects of this invention are First, to provide an improved lamp stove which may be placed upon a table or stand and an ordinary kerosene burning illuminating lamp utilized for heating the stove and also for illuminating purposes and the table or stand simultaneously used as a dining table ortable for other purposes.

'Second, to provide a structure having these advantages which is very stable and secure.

Third, to provide a structure of this class which may be readily knocked down for storage or transportation and when knocked down the parts may ranged.

Fourth, to provide an improved structure of this type which is simple and economical to produce and easy to assemble or disassemble.

Further objects, and objects relating to details and economies of construction and operation will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

"A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my inventionis illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which:

Figure I is a front view of a structure embodying the features of my invention. a portion of they skirt of the oven being broken away to show the arrangement of the deflector and supporting plate.

Fig. II is a plan view with the top plate removed.

Fig. III is a plan view of the top plate.

' Fig. IV is a side view of one of the legs.

Fig. V is a side view of the deflector and supporting plate.

In the drawing similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawing, I provide a be very compactly artop frame comprising outer bars 1 formed of strips of metal secured together at their corners by bolts 2, and inner bars 3 disposed in a spaced relation to the outer bars secured together by bolts 4: at their crossing points and to the outer bars by the rivets 5. The ends of the inner bars are turned upwardly to provide top engaging lugs 6. The top 7 is provided with side recesses 8 adapted to receivethe lugs 6 there being notches 9 at the ends ofthe recesses for the lugs. The top plate .is provided .with' downturned flanges 10 between the lugs and with a central chimney opening 11. The top plate thus formed is securely attached to the top frame and may be formed of comparatively light sheet metal, the turned down flanges adding to the appearance and to the rigidity thereof. I

The legs 12 are formed of bars folded upon themselves to provide horizontal feet portions 13 and horizontal top portions 14:. These legs are disposed radially and their .top. portions (letachably secured to the top frame by the bolts 2 and 4.- which secure the top frame pieces together as described, ordinary stove bolts being used for this purpose. I

The legs are formed to provide vertical upright portions 15 to which I secure the lamp center rings 16,,the rings being disposed in a spaced relation. and detachably secured by the bolts 17. The rings are adapted to receive the lamp 18 and serve as a supporting and locating means therefor as well as a bracing and reinforcing means for thelegs.

The oven 19 is conventionally shown and -I provide a deflector and supporting plate 20 having feet 21 whereby it is supported in a spaced relation on the top plate above the chimney opening 11.

With this arrangement of the parts, I provide a structure which when assembled is very strong and rigid and at the same time is of very light weight so that it. may be conveniently handled or it may be knocked down for transportation or storage. 'Artic'les other than the oven may bearranged on the supporting plate.

By arranging the parts as I have described, the structure may be placed upon a stand or table and the table used as a dining table or for other work, there being an open unobstructed space between the legs to accoIn-' modate'dishesand the like, the lamp being together at their ends and inner bars ,.dis-

available for illumination and at the same time the heat thereof being utilized.

While I have illustrated and describedmy improvements as adapted for a kerosene lamp of Well known type gas or other lamps or burners may be successfully used. I have through practical experience found my im-- proved lamp stove to be highly efficient and practical and to result in a great saving of fuel and well adapted for light housekeep-v ing or the preparation of luncheons and the lilge.

Hailing thus, described my invention, what I claim as HQW ELIld desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
